For Agents
Search news and articles, and find content similar to a seed URL or text snippet, via the Automata Market Intelligence index. Authenticate with an x-api-key header.
Use for: Search news articles for mentions of a specific company, Find articles similar to a given URL on a competitor blog, Retrieve recent coverage on a market trend, Run a similar-text query against ContentPro for relevant content
Not supported: Does not publish content, manage social posts, or store full article text - use for keyword search and similar-article discovery against the Automata news index only.
The Automata Market Intelligence API provides programmatic access to news, market signals, and content discovery used in competitive intelligence workflows. The /search and /similar endpoints surface news and articles related to a query or a seed URL. The /contentpro-search and /contentpro-similar-text endpoints belong to the ContentPro tier and are not included in standard Market Intelligence plans - contact Automata support for access. Authentication is by an x-api-key header.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Automata Market Intelligence API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Automata Market Intelligence API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fbyautomata.io%2Fbyautomata" | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fbyautomata.io%2Fbyautomata" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Automata Market Intelligence API.
Search news and articles by keyword across the Automata index
Find articles similar to a given seed URL
Run content similarity queries on the ContentPro tier
Power competitive intelligence dashboards with news signal data
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Automata Market Intelligence API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Competitive News Monitoring
Run scheduled keyword searches via /search to monitor mentions of competitors, products, or executives in news coverage. Strategy and comms teams use this to detect coverage spikes and reactive PR triggers without manually scanning feeds.
Run /search for the keyword 'Acme Corp' daily, dedupe by article URL, and post any new results to a Slack channel
Similar Article Discovery
Use /similar with a seed article URL to surface related coverage on the same topic. Content strategists use this to find adjacent stories, alternative framings, or competing pitches when planning new content. Returns ranked results in a single call.
Call /similar with a competitor's launch announcement URL and return the top 10 related articles for editorial review
Market Signal Aggregation
Aggregate news signals into a daily or weekly market digest by combining keyword searches across multiple terms. Useful for finance, strategy, and partnerships teams who track multiple themes and want a single condensed feed delivered automatically.
Run /search for each of five tracked themes, combine results, deduplicate, and email the top 20 stories to a distribution list
AI Agent Market Research
Through Jentic, an AI agent can run news and similarity searches against the Automata index on a researcher's behalf. Agents discover the right operation by intent, load the schema, and execute, removing the need to read API docs.
Search Jentic for 'search automata news', load the schema for GET /search, and execute with the keyword and a date range

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Automata Market Intelligence API by hand means setting the x-api-key header on every request and handling the split between the standard search plan and the separately gated ContentPro endpoints. Through Jentic you install once, import Automata from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Automata targets each request by query string rather than a resource in the URL path, so scoping stays at the operation level: you limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as keyword search on /search or similar-article discovery on /similar, and leave the ContentPro operations out unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Automata x-api-key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'search the Automata news index' or 'find articles similar to this one', and Jentic returns the matching Automata operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Automata Market Intelligence API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Automata Market Intelligence API use?
Automata uses an API key passed in the x-api-key request header. Get a key at https://apis.byautomata.io. Through Jentic, the key is stored in the encrypted vault and never enters the agent's context.
Can I run news searches with the Automata API?
Yes. GET /search runs a keyword search across the Automata news and articles index. Combine with /similar to expand from a seed URL into related coverage.
Are the ContentPro endpoints included in standard plans?
No. The /contentpro-search and /contentpro-similar-text endpoints belong to the ContentPro tier and are not included in standard Market Intelligence plans. Contact support@byautomata.io for access.
What are the rate limits for the Automata API?
Rate limits are tied to your Automata plan and are not enumerated in the spec. For batch monitoring jobs, throttle calls and back off on 429 responses rather than retrying immediately.
How do I run a news search through Jentic?
Run pip install jentic, then search Jentic with the query 'search automata news', load the schema for GET /search, and execute with the keyword parameter set to your search term.
Can I find articles similar to a seed URL?
Yes. GET /similar accepts a seed URL and returns ranked articles considered topically similar by the Automata index. Useful for editorial discovery and content clustering.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Automata Market Intelligence API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Automata operations the agent may call, and the Automata API targets each request by query string rather than a URL path resource, so scoping stays at the operation level. You can allow the agent only the operations it needs, such as keyword search on /search or similar-article discovery on /similar, while leaving the gated ContentPro operations out unless you add them. Because the same instance stores and injects your x-api-key at execution time, the agent uses only the credential and operations you have granted.
